Four paramedics were killed and five others were injured in Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon over the past 24 hours.

In a statement, the Lebanese Ministry of Health said that over the past 24 hours, the Israeli entity’s airstrikes targeted ambulance teams in southern Lebanon in the areas of Babliyeh, Khirbet Selm, Bir Al Salasil, Deir Al Zahrani, and Aanqoun, leading to the killing of four paramedics and the injury of five others.

The ministry denounced the occupation forces’ continued targeting of medical and health personnel working in Lebanon, disregarding international laws and humanitarian norms.

The ministry renewed its appeal to the international community and diplomatic figures visiting Lebanon to work to stop the “horrific and long series of war crimes,” demanding a firm stance to prevent the Israeli entity from proceeding with these attacks that double the horrors of war.

Since October 2023, Lebanon has been under attack, but in the recent days, Israel stepped up an unprecedented pace of
airstrikes and artillery shelling to target Beirut, which resulted in killing and injuring thousands of Lebanese people, in addition to forcing over million to flee their homes.
